ETSI EN 302 208 V3.1.1 (2016-11)

Radio Frequency Identification Equipment operating in the band 865 MHz to 868 MHz with power levels up to 2 W and in the band 915 MHz to 921 MHz with power levels up to 4 W; Harmonised Standard covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the Directive 2014/53/EU

REN/ERM-TG34-264

Oprema za radiofrekvenčno identifikacijo, ki deluje v pasu od 865 MHz do 868 MHz z močnostnimi nivoji do 2 W in v pasu od 915 MHz do 921 MHz z močnostnimi nivoji do 4 W - Harmonizirani standard, ki zajema bistvene zahteve člena 3.2 direktive 2014/53/EU

Ta standard zajema minimalne karakteristike za čim učinkovitejšo uporabo frekvenc, ki so na voljo. Ne vključuje nujno vseh lastnosti, ki bi jih lahko potreboval uporabnik, in ne predstavlja nujno najboljšega mogočega delovanja.
Izdelki za radiofrekvenčno identifikacijo, ki jih zajema ta standard, so po definiciji naprave kratkega dosega. Omejitve moči do največ 2 W efektivne sevane moči so za to opremo določene v frekvenčnem območju od 865 MHz do 868 MHz in do največ 4 W efektivne sevane moči v frekvenčnem območju od 915 MHz do 921 MHz. Pogoji uporabe frekvenc za RFID-je v pasu od 865 MHz do 868 MHz so usklajeni v celotni Evropski uniji v skladu z 2006/804/ES [i.12].
Opozoriti je treba, da ima frekvenčni pas od 915 MHz do 921 MHz v Evropski uniji in državah CEPT omejeno stanje izvajanja. V Dodatku 1 dokumenta ERC/REC 70-03 [i.9] je pregled držav, v katerih je pas izveden.
Ta dokument se uporablja za čitalnike in odzivnike RFID, ki skupaj delujejo kot sistem. Za vsak določen pas so za čitalnike na voljo štirje kanali z visoko močjo. Odzivniki odgovarjajo z moduliranim signalom, če je mogoče, v sosednjih kanalih manjših moči. Čitalniki se lahko uporabljajo z vgrajenimi ali zunanjimi antenami.
Ta dokument zajema naslednje vrste opreme:
• fiksni čitalniki;
• prenosni čitalniki;
• odzivniki brez baterij;
• baterijsko podprti odzivniki;
• baterijskom napajani odzivniki.
Ta dokument vsebuje zahteve, s katerimi se dokazuje, da navedena radijska oprema optimalno uporablja in podpira učinkovito rabo radijskega spektra z namenom preprečevanja škodljivih motenj.

Foreword
This draft Harmonised European Standard (EN) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic
compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM), and is now submitted for the combined Public Enquiry and Vote
phase of the ETSI standards EN Approval Procedure.
The present document has been prepared under the Commission's standardisation request C(2015) 5376 final [i.10] to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU on the harmonisation
of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing
Directive 1999/5/EC [i.3].
Once the present document is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance with
the normative clauses of the present document given in table A.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of the present
document, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that Directive, and associated
EFTA regulations.
The present document replaces all previous versions of ETSI EN 302 208 Parts 1 and 2.

Proposed national transposition dates
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 3 months after ETSI publication
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this EN (dop/e): 6 months after doa
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 18 months after doa

1 Scope
The present document covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the
available frequencies. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics that may be required by a user, nor does it
necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.
Radio frequency identification products covered within the present document are considered by definition short-range
devices. Power limits up to a maximum of 2 W e.r.p. are specified for this equipment in the frequency band 865 MHz to
868 MHz and up to a maximum of 4 W e.r.p. in the frequency band 915 MHz to 921 MHz.
It should be noted that the frequency band 915 MHz to 921 MHz has only a limited implementation status within the
European Union and the CEPT countries. ERC/REC 70-03 [i.9] provides in appendix 1 an overview of countries where
the band is implemented.
The present document applies to RFID interrogators and tags operating together as a system. For each specified band,
four high power channels are made available for use by interrogators. The tags respond with a modulated signal
preferably in the adjacent low power channels. Interrogators may be used with either integral or external antennas.
ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements are covered by ETSI EN 301 489-1 [i.1] and ETSI
EN 301 489-3 [i.2].
The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:
• fixed interrogators;
• portable interrogators;
• batteryless tags;
• battery assisted tags;
• battery powered tags.
These radio equipment are capable of operating in the frequency ranges given in table 1.
Table 1: Frequencies of operation
Equipment Operating frequencies
Interrogator Transmit channel 4 865,6 MHz to 865,8 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 7 866,2 MHz to 866,4 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 10 866,8 MHz to 867,0 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 13 867,4 MHz to 867,6 MHz
Interrogator Receive 865,2 MHz to 868,0 MHz
Tag Transmit and receive 865,2 MHz to 868,0 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 3 916,1 MHz to 916,5 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 6 917,3 MHz to 917,7 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 9 918,5 MHz to 918,9 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 12 919,7 MHz to 920,1 MHz
Interrogator Receive 915,3 MHz to 925,0 MHz
Tag Transmit and receive 915,3 MHz to 920,9 MHz

The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that the specified radio equipment both effectively uses and
supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference.

Foreword
This Harmonised European Standard (EN) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic
compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM).
The present document has been prepared under the Commission's standardisation request C(2015) 5376 final [i.10] to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU on the harmonisation
of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing
Directive 1999/5/EC [i.3].
Once the present document is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance with
the normative clauses of the present document given in table A.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of the present
document, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that Directive, and associated
EFTA regulations.
The present document replaces all previous versions of ETSI EN 302 208 Parts 1 and 2.

1 Scope
The present document covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the
available frequencies. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics that may be required by a user, nor does it
necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.
Radio frequency identification products covered within the present document are considered by definition short-range
devices. Power limits up to a maximum of 2 W e.r.p. are specified for this equipment in the frequency band 865 MHz to
868 MHz and up to a maximum of 4 W e.r.p. in the frequency band 915 MHz to 921 MHz. The frequency usage
conditions for RFIDs in the band 865 MHz to 868 MHz are EU wide harmonised according to 2006/804/EC [i.12].
It should be noted that the frequency band 915 MHz to 921 MHz has only a limited implementation status within the
European Union and the CEPT countries. ERC/REC 70-03 [i.9] provides in appendix 1 an overview of countries where
the band is implemented.
The present document applies to RFID interrogators and tags operating together as a system. For each specified band,
four high power channels are made available for use by interrogators. The tags respond with a modulated signal
preferably in the adjacent low power channels. Interrogators may be used with either integral or external antennas.
The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:
• fixed interrogators;
• portable interrogators;
• batteryless tags;
• battery assisted tags;
• battery powered tags.
These radio equipment are capable of operating in the frequency ranges given in table 1.
Table 1: Frequencies of operation
Equipment Operating frequencies
Interrogator Transmit channel 4 865,6 MHz to 865,8 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 7 866,2 MHz to 866,4 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 10 866,8 MHz to 867,0 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 13 867,4 MHz to 867,6 MHz
Interrogator Receive 865,2 MHz to 868,0 MHz
Tag Transmit and receive 865,2 MHz to 868,0 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 3 916,1 MHz to 916,5 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 6 917,3 MHz to 917,7 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 9 918,5 MHz to 918,9 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 12 919,7 MHz to 920,1 MHz
Interrogator Receive 915,3 MHz to 925,0 MHz
Tag Transmit and receive 915,3 MHz to 920,9 MHz

The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that the specified radio equipment both effectively uses and
supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference.

ETSI ETSI EN 302 208 V3.1.1 (2016-11) 8 1 Scope The present document covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the available frequencies. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics that may be required by a user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable. Radio frequency identification products covered within the present document are considered by definition short-range devices. Power limits up to a maximum of 2 W e.r.p. are specified for this equipment in the frequency band 865 MHz to 868 MHz and up to a maximum of 4 W e.r.p. in the frequency band 915 MHz to 921 MHz. The frequency usage conditions for RFIDs in the band 865 MHz to 868 MHz are EU wide harmonised according to 2006/804/EC [i.12]. It should be noted that the frequency band 915 MHz to 921 MHz has only a limited implementation status within the European Union and the CEPT countries. ERC/REC 70-03 [i.9] provides in appendix 1 an overview of countries where the band is implemented. The present document applies to RFID interrogators and tags operating together as a system. For each specified band, four high power channels are made available for use by interrogators. The tags respond with a modulated signal preferably in the adjacent low power channels. Interrogators may be used with either integral or external antennas. The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows: • fixed interrogators; • portable interrogators; • batteryless tags; • battery assisted tags; • battery powered tags. These radio equipment are capable of operating in the frequency ranges given in table 1. Table 1: Frequencies of operation Equipment Operating frequencies Interrogator Transmit channel 4 865,6 MHz to 865,8 MHz Interrogator Transmit channel 7 866,2 MHz to 866,4 MHz Interrogator Transmit channel 10 866,8 MHz to 867,0 MHz Interrogator Transmit channel 13 867,4 MHz to 867,6 MHz Interrogator Receive 865,2 MHz to 868,0 MHz Tag Transmit and receive 865,2 MHz to 868,0 MHz Interrogator Transmit channel 3 916,1 MHz to 916,5 MHz Interrogator Transmit channel 6 917,3 MHz to 917,7 MHz Interrogator Transmit channel 9 918,5 MHz to 918,9 MHz Interrogator Transmit channel 12 919,7 MHz to 920,1 MHz Interrogator Receive
915,3 MHz to 925,0 MHz Tag Transmit and receive 915,3 MHz to 920,9 MHz
The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that the specified radio equipment both effectively uses and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference. SIST EN 302 208 V3.1.1:2017
